Network Path Analysis with gtrace

How to Call the gtrace MCP Tools

python3 $MCP_CALL "gtrace mcp" TOOL_NAME '{"param":"value"}'

When to Use

• Trace the path between two endpoints and identify each hop (router, latency, loss)
• Detect MPLS labels, ECMP load balancing, and NAT translation points along the path
• Monitor a path continuously with MTR to identify intermittent packet loss or latency spikes
• Run distributed traceroutes from 500+ GlobalPing probe locations worldwide to compare paths from different vantage points
• Verify transit providers, peering, and routing policy by inspecting AS-level path data
• Troubleshoot asymmetric routing, suboptimal paths, or blackholes
